California generational farming. It's wising up, but ever so slowly. Blue Diamond Almond company, I'd say, is about half its presence now since 2000. Before 2000 the irrigation canals was practically free-flowing year-round. It's a cash crop -- so if it can grow, you know. But yeah, it is still over-the-top for a naturally arid area.
